Keeping clinical research on time and within budget despite COVID delays, staff shortages

Author(s)David Hutton, Emily Kaiser Maharjan

Mike Watson, Vice President of OraNet, unpacks some of the most pressing challenges to clinical research in today’s climate.

Mike Watson, vice president of OraNet at Ora inc., discusses the challenges facing clinical sites in 2022 and key considerations to ensure study success. Development partners like Ora with site communities like OraNet that supplement coordinator staff, optimize patient capacity, and streamline protocols are a necessity in today’s over-burdened resource-lean clinics.
